    ARCHITECT
    Born in Sicily and graduated in Architecture at Palermo,
    Antonino Cardillo has been selected among the thirty best
    new young architectural practices from around the World in
    Wallpaper* magazine’s Architects Directory: “Cardillo is one
    of the most significant architects of our time”, Editor-in-Chief
    Tony Chambers said of him. He has lectured at Chelsea College
    of Art and Design of London and his works were exhibited at
    different venues, including the 4th International Architecture
    Biennale of Rotterdam, the Artindex of St-Petersburg and
    the John Foxx’s exhibition in London. Lately he has worked
    for the London Design Festival at the Victoria and Albert
    Museum. Antonino Cardillo is an itinerant architect. Active
    worldwide, through his works he explores the boundaries
    between ancient and modern languages. His architectonic
    spaces attempt to get to a new syncretic synthesis reconciling
    different world views, beliefs, traditions and cultures:
    he interprets Architecture as a way to bridge differences.
    HOUSE OF DUST

    Architecture is dust.
    Dust that becomes form,
    dust transfigured by the mind.

    Dust is memory so dust is also death.


    Ancestral memory of death,
    dust refers to the beginnings.

    That modernity that disowns sediment,


    that shaves walls, that sanitises space;
    that modernity that disowns dust,
    disowns even death.

    Deprived of memory,
    and so slave to a credible youth,
    ignoring its end, it repeats itself;
    without end.

    In this house classical orders


    and golden proportions celebrate dust:
    Angels and choirs have abandoned Heaven,
    and Heaven has adorned itself with earth.

    A pozzolanic earth mixed with khâk,


    the colour with which Persians identified the crude earth.
    Memory of primordial caverns.
    Asperity that unsettles, undermines.
